Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (April 23, 2010 release)

Looking forward to this - Gordon Gekko is an all-time classic!



Articles in Variety about it and article in USAToday as well:

 Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a sequel to the 1987 original due this spring that takes place more than 20 years later. And rather than coercing a would-be high-stakes player into doing his shady bidding, Gekko is focused on reconnecting with Winnie, his estranged daughter whom he hardly knows after serving a hefty 14-year jail sentence for insider trading.  Besides an older and bitter Gekko, there is Shia LaBeouf's Jacob Moore, a 20-ish hedge-fund trader who just happens to be engaged to Winnie (Carey Mulligan of An Education) and strikes a secret alliance with his future father-in-law. Plus, Josh Brolin is the new-style Gekko, a cold-blooded fortysomething investment banker named Bretton James who becomes Jacob's boss after his former mentor, played by Frank Langella, dies.

Stone seems to have a thing for casting actors who look a little but like him -- Josh Brolin in that picture looks like a younger version of him, and Powers Boothe in some of his earlier movies -- Salvador, Nixon. I'm a huge Stone fan and really hope he pulls off this movie, his first ever sequel.
